1 out of 10 - Author: Prasad Khare from United States
After a long time I went to watch a Hindi movie and came back disappointed (which happens more often that not). Its a terrible movie with nothing worth spending time and money. Characters are not even close to "believable". Script is worse than what a 4 year old can write. Acting is mediocre. End sequence is boring, lengthy and makes you feel stupid for sitting and lasting the whole movie. I think mainstream Indian cinema has never been progressive, sensible or creative, and OSO proves my point. However, be prepared to hear that it becomes a super-hit back in India as an "entertainer, masala" (???) movie!!!
Ouch! Maybe a Blu-ray rental (from Netflix or Blockbuster).

Edit: BTW, I'm always suspicious of opinions by posters who give a rating of 1 out of 10. 2 or 3 out of 10 makes their opinion for some reason more realistic
